NASA Robonauts Tested at JSC

A NASA
press release describes recent tests at the Johnson Space Center in
Houston in which two NASA/DARPA Robonauts worked side-by-side with human
astronaut Nancy Currie to assemble space station components. The Robonaut project is trying
to develop a teleoperated (non-autonomous) humanoid robot that can take
over some of the spacewalking tasks that currently require human
astronauts. Photos
of test can be found on the NASA ISS site.
